In recent times, the conversations about drug usage among entertainers has increased especially on social media. This is coming as a result of the trending subject matter of how Tagbo Umeike,a friend of Davido lost his life.

In the same vein, drugs were allegedly found in the car of DJ Olu and Chime Amaechi(both friends of Davido) after they lost their lives.

At the ongoing Felabration concert, I vividly saw how some budding musicians were smoking weed recklessly in order to energize their performance. Amongst entertainers, using these substances is not strange.







Nigerian RnB singer and entrepreneur, Banky W once revealed that most Nigerian entertainers use drugs.



In reaction to a message placed on a hotel door in Benin, Edo state banning weed and other hard drugs, the singer said 75% of Nigerian artistes cannot stay where the notice on ban of drugs is placed.



The notice which reads: “Please be advised that smoking of WEED or taking of any HARD DRUGS in the rooms are highly prohibited with consequences such as automatic checkout or being handed over to law enforcement agency.”




Banky W took to his Snapchat page and wrote: “Lol… now this means 75% of the music business can’t stay here.”



A lot of musicians will tell you they are self-motivated and their drive comes from the love for their craft. But in reality, we know where their energy comes from.



Okey Bakassi claimed that conservatively, 70% of Nigerian celebrities are on some substance that makes them high. Hear him: “Now you hear all manner of names. From SK to Kush to Loud. The names come like everyday and you’re struggling to keep up with the nomenclature of it.

Davido has however debunked Danjuma’s accusations. According to him: “People are just wicked. This is what I get for treating everyone like my brother.



“First and foremost my sincere condolences and prayers are with his family at this time.

“I’ve been in the same position before, multiple times and also of recent – but it is disappointing that false information and complete lies have been put out there using my name, as usual.”
